Why is he delaying it so much for what seems to be an important conversation?
Seoyeon waited until the numbers changed several times in her mind.
Eventually, unable to stand it any longer, she opened her mouth first.
“CEO Choi. You mentioned an important matter…”
However, she didn’t neatly finish her sentence. It seemed as if she was urging Minhyuk to finish the business quickly.
“Haah….”
Minhyuk sighed deeply, looking up at the sky.
‘Why is he like that? Is it such a serious matter?’
Sensing Minhyuk’s unusual reaction, Seoyeon originally thought of scheduling the conversation during weekday working hours to conclude it more efficiently.
“Is there any problem?”
It felt like meeting a teacher for the first time after failing a mock exam. Seoyeon found Minhyuk’s sighs and serious expression too burdensome.
Moreover, the conversation was getting prolonged, which was inconvenient considering Kwonyul and her friends were waiting.
“CEO Han.”
“Yes, please speak.”
Seoyeon stared at Minhyuk, as if ready to listen.
Upon that, Minhyuk, who hesitated for a moment, washed his face and asked.
“Are you dating Yul?”
Seoyeon’s gaze sharpened momentarily at the extremely private question.
“Isn’t it because of work that you called me?”
Seoyeon openly expressed her discomfort. It meant, “Leave the private matters aside and get to the point.”
“CEO Han.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
Seoyeon looked at Minhyuk as if she was prepared to listen.
Upon that, after a moment of hesitation, Minhyuk exhaled heavily, looking up at the sky.
‘Why is it like this? Is it a serious matter?’
Seoyeon thought she should have scheduled the conversation during regular working hours.
“Is there any problem?”
“What?”
“What is it? Your grandpa.”
At Hyunwoo’s words, Sehee responded with a confident voice.
“Probably filming a melodrama.”
“CEO Han… What do we do?”
“What can we do? I don’t know CEO Han Seoyeon well, but you probably need to brace yourself.”
However, there was no need to hide that she was curious.
For Seoyeon, Kwonyul was an important presence.
“But if you’re still curious, we’ve been dating for about a month.”
“A month… just a month.”
Minhyuk briefly touched his forehead.
The recent information he heard about Kwonyul being busy with exam preparation was quite recent. While Kwonyul was busy dedicating his time to Seoyeon, Minhyuk wondered what he himself had been doing.
A disappointed sigh escaped from Minhyuk’s lips.
“Are you serious?”
Seoyeon understood the many meanings behind Minhyuk’s short question.
Of course, it could be her own interpretation, but it felt uncomfortable, as if societal norms or universal standards were being imposed.
“I don’t understand why I have to answer such a question to CEO Choi, but…”
If Minhyuk wanted an answer, Seoyeon was ready to make it clear.
“Yes, I’m serious.”
“Yul is a college student.”
“I’m aware.”
Seoyeon’s eyes became more serious than ever.
“If you’re worried because Yul is a friend of my nephew, there’s nothing to worry about.”
If the advice was about presenting the distant and complicated connection of being a friend’s uncle, it seemed… The problem was quite simple.
All she had to do was make it clear that it wasn’t a light-hearted relationship.
“I haven’t neglected practical issues.”
Seoyeon remained unfazed.
There had been many things happening with Kwonyul, and she had known and despaired of his true self. Despite enduring hours of unspoken pain, she couldn’t part ways with him. Seoyeon’s heart was already filled with Kwonyul.
Minhyuk felt his chest crumbling at Seoyeon’s honest words.
Was there no longer a chance for him? What should he do about the feelings that had already started?
With a heavy sigh, Minhyuk asked, “So, how far do you plan to go?”
Seoyeon’s eyes widened at Minhyuk’s direct question.
“There’s no need to tell CEO Choi.”
It was a warning not to cross a line.
“Seoyeon.”
However, Minhyuk openly crossed the subtly existing line. There was no turning back now.
“As we’ve started this relationship, I’d appreciate it if you could address me correctly.”
Seoyeon pointed out what had bothered her so far.
But it seemed like he didn’t hear it.
“Seoyeon, I couldn’t be honest with you before. But now that it’s come to this, there’s no reason to hide.”
Minhyuk thought that the situation had become uncontrollable while he was being careful.
“Work? What does my relationship with Yul have to do with work?”
“I’ve had feelings for you for a while.”
Seoyeon’s shoulders jolted.
“What on earth… CEO Choi, this is so sudden.”
“It might be overwhelming, but I’ll make sure it’s not. I plan to define our relationship more clearly from now on.”
Seoyeon was increasingly dumbfounded. It was already burdensome because of his overly confident personality and the position of being an inevitable CEO.
To confess like this and say he won’t make it uncomfortable?
“And to be honest, it’s not sudden. I just didn’t say it directly in front of Seoyeon.”
Minhyuk’s gaze, which had been subtly moving back and forth, passed by like a scene from a movie.
It meant there was a meaning behind the liking.
“Seoyeon, stay as you are.”
“You confess like this, and yet you say you won’t make it uncomfortable?”
“And to be honest, it’s not sudden. I just didn’t say it directly in front of Seoyeon.”
In a moment, Minhyuk’s gaze, like a scene from a movie, passed by.
That was the meaning of liking.
“Seoyeon, stay as you are.”
Minhyuk’s affectionate gaze turned towards Seoyeon.
“CEO Choi.”
Seoyeon couldn’t pretend not to know that Minhyuk had feelings for her. That, too, was nothing short of a broad betrayal.
“I’ll stop with the awkward words here…”
At that moment.
“I can’t allow that.”
Kwonyul’s imposing shadow approached and stood there.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
